What happens if I skip the state filing warnings?

If you skip the state filing warnings, you could face several potential issues:

1. Non-Compliance: Each state has its own tax filing requirements. Ignoring state filing warnings might lead to non-compliance with state tax laws, which could result in penalties, fines, or additional interest charges.
    
2. Delayed Processing: If the state filing is required but skipped, it could delay the processing of your forms, especially if the state later identifies that the forms were not filed correctly or on time.
    
3. Incorrect Tax Reporting: If the state filing is skipped, it might affect the accuracy of the tax reporting for the recipient, leading to discrepancies in their records. This could also impact their tax returns and potential refunds.
